In a situation unrelated to Jodie, there was a certain level of generosity shown toward Simone, whether

it was from Salma or the five Gray brothers.

Even if Salma didn’t express it, Titus also wanted to go find Simone.

The sudden appearance of photos and the team’s assistance with Simone’s case were all beyond his

control.

He believed that Simone should return to the company where he could control her properly.

Dealing with the constant uncertainty and the mess it caused was exhausting.

He could also control Simone’s misbehavior if she is under his supervision.

So, he readily agreed, saying, “Alright. I’ll go find her tomorrow. I’ll offer her the best contract and treat

her the same as the company’s top female artist. This time, she shouldn’t complain or cause any more

trouble.”

Regarding going home, he believed that as long as they provided Simone with an opportunity, she

would definitely take it.

He knew that Simone, his own sister, longed for family affection.

As blood relatives, there should be no lingering grudges between them.

It was normal for them to argue and make a fuss.

The other four brothers shared similar thoughts.

They all believed that if they gave Simone an opportunity, she would happily return.

As a family, there was no need to be so calculating.

And if Simone hadn’t constantly tried to compete with Jo, they wouldn’t be so angry with her.

As long as Simone and Jo could get along well from now on, they would also love her the same.

Jodie felt a little uneasy when she heard Salma’s words.

It was different when it was her own flesh and blood. Even though they’d reached this point and cut off

ties, they still wanted to bring her back.

But since this aligned with her plan, she didn’t try to stop it.

She agreed and said, “Yes, it was all a misunderstanding on Simone’s part. Titus should really coax her

back. When the time comes, I’ll apologize to her and explain the situation with the photos and the

couple pendant.”

She deliberately set up a trap and said, “I believe that as long as I explain it clearly to Icon and prove

my innocence, Simone will definitely understand.”

Titus says, “Apologies are not necessary, but you do need to explain to her about you and Leon.”

“There’s no need to let a man affect your relationship with each other.”

The family hoped that Simone and Jo could peacefully get along.

He used to be disgusted by the fact that Jodie was involved with Simone’s boyfriend.

Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding, he felt relieved.

Leon was also to blame. He couldn’t handle the relationship between the two sides.

All the life experiences he went through, wasted.

His resentment toward Leon was now the greatest, as he had caused his two sisters to quarrel like this.

Simone, without distinguishing right from wrong, misunderstood and caused Jo to endure so much.

criticism.

It made their public relations difficult.

After appeasing Simone, he would ask her to post a clarification on Facebook.

The clarification would state that there was a misunderstanding about the relationship between Leon

and Jo.

If the parties involved post such a message on Facebook, it would be more effective than any public

relations efforts.

Jo would also be able to emerge from this mess without facing further criticism.

As for Leon, if Simone really didn’t want to reconcile with him, they would find another wealthy young

man for her,

After all, they were siblings, and they could discipline and control her, preventing her from rebelling and

causing trouble.

But they wouldn’t let others bully her.

Not even his friend Leon.

After dealing with these matters, Salma felt tired and went back to her room.

After she left, the other five people comforted Jodie once again.

Andrew, out of habit, reached out to hug Jodie.

But just as his hand was about to reach her, the housekeeper suddenly appeared.

And she reminded them, “Master Andrew, Madam has requested that you please be mindful of

boundaries.”

Before Salma went upstairs, she specifically instructed the housekeeper and the servants to keep an

eye

on the five brothers and Jodie.

If there was any inappropriate behavior, they were to speak up and stop it.

Seeing the housekeeper’s expressionless face, Andrew awkwardly withdrew his hand. “There’s really a

lot going on.”

Honestly. Mother, do we have to be watched like this? It made them seem like they were doing

something scandalous. It was so frustrating.

Jodie was also unhappy that her foster mother had someone watching them.

What does this mean? It seemed like she had to be more careful when there were people at home.

If she upset Salma and she told Steven about these things, it wouldn’t be good for her.

Not only did she have to hold on tightly to her five brothers, but she also couldn’t let Salma and Steven

develop any negative opinions or favor Simone.

The next day.

Simone accompanied Gwen to get a new hairstyle.

Gwen had a stunning and enchanting appearance.

In the past, she deliberately went against her parents and the family.

She changed her hairstyle and hair color every week and intentionally dressed in an alt style.

But later, because of Harold, she changed her hair color to black and straightened it.

She also dressed more professionally and maturely.

Simone suggested that she try a new style that suited her better.

After some thought, Gwen agreed.

Now, she wanted to go back to being herself, so she would do what suited her and what she liked.

She got a perm and dyed her hair a smoky blue color.

She also took Simone to the mall and bought a bunch of new clothes.

The style was all bold, sexy, and enchanting.

Trying on a sexy wine–red suspender long dress, Gwen exclaimed, “I look so good!”

Simone stood by and agreed, “Indeed, beautiful.”

She continued, “You used to be held back by that stupid guy.”

Gwen endured wearing clothes she didn’t like for a long time, such as professional attire, for the sake

of Harold.

She then complained, “No kidding.”

“That stupid guy, even if I wore a dress that didn’t cover my knees, it would make him unhappy.”

“There was one time I wore a dress with a low back, and he turned on the air conditioning all day.”

“Now that I think about it, it was just low. That jerk just hindered my beauty.”

She changed into another backless long dress. “I like this kind, with long hair falling down, making my

back appear hidden and visible.”

So sexy and beautiful. That stupid guy doesn’t appreciate it.”

She says to Simone, “You’re better. You like what you like and haven’t changed these things for my

brother.”

Simone was deeply concerned about her brother and her family, and she took care of them in every

aspect of their emotions and lives.

However, she refused to change herself for these people.

Leon used to disapprove of Simone participating in races or riding motorcycles with Gwen.

If he tried to stop Gwen, she wouldn’t listen.

Her brother would try to persuade Simone and prevent her from engaging in these activities that he

disliked.

But Simone continued to pursue her hobbies and didn’t give them up for Leon.

In the end, Leon reluctantly accepted it.

When they argued or had conflicts, if Simone wasn’t at fault, she wouldn’t apologize or try to appease

her brother.

Upon returning to the Gray Family, they wanted Simone to quit the entertainment industry.

They suggested that she study economics or management abroad again, but Simone refused.

If the Gray Family said something offensive to pressure her for the sake of Jodie, Simone wouldn’t just

accept it; she would fight back.

Simone could be very kind and warm–hearted toward the people she cared about, but she wouldn’t

allow them to change her.

Gwen felt that she had been foolish in the past.

To oppose her parents and seek their attention, she deliberately rebelled.

She even changed many of her preferences for the sake of that foolish man, and when they argued,

she was always the one to apologize first.

Simone patted her and said, “It’s not too late for you to realize it now.”

She had previously advised Gwen not to change herself or her preferences for the sake of Harold. But

at that time, Gwen was too infatuated with Harold and continued to pursue him.

Simone suspected that Gwen may have been psychologically influenced by Harold behind the scenes.

Gwen nodded and said, “Yes, my life is just beginning now.”

Then, with smiles on their faces, they looked at themselves in the mirror and said, “Oh my, the more we

look at ourselves, the more beautiful we become. We are so beautiful that others should appreciate

us.”

At that moment, Simone was also trying on a different style of dress in the same color.

She looked at herself in the mirror and chuckled, “Indeed, the two women in the mirror are so attractive.

How is that possible?”

While they were joking around, Simone’s phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, so she answered, “Hello!” Since she didn’t have an assistant yet, she

handled all the matters in the entertainment industry herself.

The unfamiliar number could be a new job opportunity or a new resource, and she was open to it.
